Week 2 of Porridge & Play Cranhill 2023

Thursday 11th May

Our pal the Funky Chicken invited some peculiar animals to Cranhill today! We met:

  • The Cheeky Lion
  • The Dying Fly
  • The Naughty Crocodile
  • The Big Dinosaur
  • The Weird Flamingo 
  • The Cheeky Rabbit
  • The Slippery Cat
  • The Scary Lion
  • And The Giant Crocodile

‘So this is slippery cat that’s what we were playing and this is a wet cat but slippery and that’s why she’s on the floor because she’s slippery. That’s me when I am cat. My favourite thing was…everything!’

We also got experimental concocting the stinkiest, stickiest Mucky Brew with the Cranhill crew! Here’s our formula…

A smelly dinosaur egg, mud from a puddle, feathers, sand, mice, butterflies, a poisoned cat, fire, slime, glitter and smelly fish

Mucky Me, Mucky You, Mucky Mucky MUCKY BREW!

‘We’re on the pirate ship and its raining and its sunny and there’s a rainbow.’ 

‘This was a pirate! With one eye and a spoon arm!’

They all came!

  • Captain Smelly Foot and Captain Super Potato
  • Pirate Olivia and Super Hero Pirate
  • Fashion Pirate, Captain Queen, Queen Shaylin Captain
  • and lots of other horrid looking pirates

Ready to take part in the infamous Horrid Pirate Parade!
